Hey folks,

 

A new router arrived from 2degrees today to solve some on-going network issues.

 

After spending a day or so researching the compatibility of the previous router with a PiHole, I concluded that it wasn't possible and didn't go ahead with trying to set it up.

 

So, does anyone have any experience/knowledge on whether or not the FRITZ!Box 7590 would work with a PiHole?

 

Thank you very much.

Yes it's compatible. I am using a 7490 with a PiHole.
You simply just need to change the DNS server which is handed out by DHCP to the pihole.

 

This setting is change under "Home Network > Network > Network Settings > IP Addresses" note you will need to be close to the router when you change this as it needs you to press a button on it to confirm the change.
